Dancing Backwards

I've just finished reading a lovely book Dancing Backwards by Salley Vickers.

It's a while since Ive read a book that I've really enjoyed. This one is the story of a woman recently widowed, taking a cruise trip across the Atlantic to new York to meet up with a friend she hasn't seen in years. The actual journey is punctuated by a metaphorical journey into her past in which she unravels her own involvement in troubling events.

I have enjoyed all of Salley Vickers's previous novels, especially Miss Garnet's Angel. Dancing Backwards is well written and a very gentle read. It is both funny and sad in places, a great read for long, lazy summer days.

I live in Liverpool, UK, with my wonderful husband. I have two amazing girls, who are all grown up now and have flown the nest. I love knitting, crocheting and many more crafts - I'm happiest when I'm creating.
I love being inspired by the blogs I read and the pictures I see on Pinterest. I hope that, in turn, I can be an inspiration, through my blog, to others.

All the patterns on my blog are free for you to download for your personal use - I enjoy sharing. However, they are my patterns so please respect my work and do not sell the patterns or anything made from the patterns for profit. Thank you.
